Saleen 2024 Mustang 302 White Label Boosts to 510 HP for a Classic Revamp
by AutoExpert | 23 November, 2023
The esteemed American tuner Saleen is back at it, wielding its magic on the latest S650 generation of the Ford Mustang with its White Label 302. This model captures attention with a reimagined front bumper designed to enhance airflow, eschewing the Dark Horse and GT’s bold intakes for a more refined and balanced look with a distinct, chiseled division between the upper and lower halves.
Whether it embodies the Mustang essence enough is subjective, but we see it as a nod to the classic Dark Horse.
The back of the car sports a sizeable flat rear spoiler and Saleen-branded trunk, rounded out by side winglets and striking yellow accents that trace along the diffuser. These vibrant details extend along the new side skirts to the front lip, popping up in the grille and interior stitching.
Inside, Saleen's touch is evident with branded elements on the steering wheel and around the gauge cluster, along with a practical grab handle and seamlessly integrated infotainment screens.
Performance-wise, Saleen doesn't just match the Dark Horse but surpasses it, boosting the 5.0L V8’s output from 480 to 510 HP.
To handle this power, the vehicle is equipped with Saleen brakes, Gen 5 Racecraft suspension, and robust wheels that ensure it remains composed on twists and turns.
Price-wise, the White Label’s MSRP of $61,990 is competitive, aligning closely with the Dark Horse after taxes and fees.
Steve Saleen himself has lauded the 2024 302 White Label as one of the most extensive designs for the 302 yet, praising the S650 platform's capabilities. And for those who crave even more performance, stay tuned for the upcoming Yellow and Black Label versions, which promise to deliver additional horsepower, building upon Saleen's legacy of muscle and performance.
